October 24, 20195 yr Looking forward to hearing these! Gutted about the Daft Punk collab not happening but still new Coldplay! :D
October 24, 20195 yr Leaked tracklists are fake like 99% of the time lol ~ Looking forward to this anyhoo!
October 24, 20195 yr To be fair, the second leaked tracklist was real :P That was on Amazon though wasn't it? That's not really a 'leak' in the same way. I mean the ones that randomly show up on Twitter with some dodgy screenshot etc.
October 24, 20195 yr Author Ah yeah, you're right - I forgot that was how the second tracklist came about.
October 24, 20195 yr Just caught ‘orphans’ on the radio by accident... and it’s really good. They are absolute pros at making those euphoric songs
October 24, 20195 yr Really blown away by ‘Arabesque’. Very different for them and a great use of instruments and sounds used. Think ‘Orphans’ will be the track pushed for radio though as it has a similar sound to the ‘Head Full Of Dreams’ era. Hopefully straight to A List on Radio 1 tomorrow!
October 24, 20195 yr Not keen on either of these, Orphans is better than their worst singles though so there's that.
October 24, 20195 yr WOW at Arabesque, Coldplay doing woke Jazz and succeeding, who'd have thought?! :o Really loving it, that's definitely the kind of experimentation I like to see from them. Doubt it will be that big a hit though (at least not with that runtime), but I'm certainly interested to hear more of that kind of thing on the album. Orphans on the other hand, very quirky lyrics aside, is pretty much textbook Coldplay, could be lifted right from their last album BUT I still really like it, so euphoric and joyful as per for them, and I'm sure that will do much better. How wonderful to have them back :wub:
October 24, 20195 yr If Foals can't get a streaming hit with their tracks, Coldplay shouldn't either but we'll see.
October 24, 20195 yr Think ‘Orphans’ will be the track pushed for radio though as it has a similar sound to the ‘Head Full Of Dreams’ era.That's right. "Orphans" is the track they're pushing to radio.
October 24, 20195 yr According to the press release, the music video for "Orphans" will premiere tomorrow at 1pm. BST on YouTube. Both tracks were produced by The Dream Team and "Arabesque" features vocals from Stromae and horns by Femi Kuti and his band.
October 24, 20195 yr Both new songs are great! I suspect 'Orphans' will hold up better for being more commercial but at least they actually meant it when they said they'd do some experimental stuff. Is anyone up for doing a GH rate? I've made a playlist and gonna revisit. Princess Of China still holds up :heart: seems to be very underrated now though.
